Mission, Vision and Values

Mission

Fix the 6ix exists to support individuals experiencing homelessness, and the organizations that advocate for them. Our goal is to provide a way to humanize the homeless community by sharing their stories to broaden the understanding of homelessness in Toronto.

We do this in three ways:

  • Re-purposing donated gift cards to provide goods and programming to shelters
  • Donating gift cards to individuals on the street
  • Humanizing homelessness by sharing the stories of those we serve

Vision: The ultimate goal

  • To alleviate internal pressure on Toronto homeless shelters by subsidizing programming
  • Giving in-kind donation to individuals on the street that offer the power of choice
  • To offer visibility and inspire a new understanding of the homeless community in Toronto

 Values: The beliefs at the core of our work

  • Kindness
  • Compassion
  • Social Justice
  • Human Dignity
